Most Questionable Crowd Funding

Post by Benjamin100 »

Here is a crowd funding project for a tech product.
The most ridiculous crowd funding project I have ever seen.

(I guess they are hoping some old people send them some money.)
Here it is, they give a description.

The video explains it, sort of. Cracks me up. Frequently asked question at the bottom of the page is even better. This stuff is hilarious.

It's like charging your phone with all the conversations you'll have in the future, if you're going on camping.

Btw, it would be nice to be able to "charge" your phone with "current internet". I mean, an app that will go through all of my favorite web sites, and store most of the content of them onto your phone.
Would be nice to have at lunch break, or whatever, so you'd have some (maybe outdated) reading material (without having to "read it later" on all your sites)
